Mend Urgent Care is a health care organization founded by Dr. Anthony Cardillo, MD–a Sherman Oaks resident and double residency-trained physician in Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine. Dr. Cardillo is also the founder of Premier Health Partners–a management firm for several Emergency Departments in the greater Los Angeles area–and a member of Glendale Adventist Emergency Physicians, Inc. Dr. Cardillo received his medical degree from the University of Southern California (USC) and completed his residency training at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).

"Compassion isn't just a buzzword – it's truly who we are and what we're about," said Dr. Cardillo. "Our goal is to give hope and treat the community like family. All of our patients are given the same level of respect, attention, and high quality care I would expect for my own kids and my own family."

The new facility was welcomed to the community during an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Sherman Oaks Chamber of Commerce. Representatives from California State Senator Bob Hertzberg's Office, Congressman Brad Sherman'sOffice, California Legislature Assembly Member Adrin Nazarian's Office, City of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's Office, theSherman Oaks Chamber of Commerce, and the United Chambers of Commerce were all in attendance to inaugurate the new facility.

"Mend will play an important role in the healthcare system today and going forward," said Dr. Cardillo. "We're excited to work with the healthcare providers in the community to give patients the convenient, comprehensive, and quality care they deserve."

Mend Urgent Care is open every day from 8am to 8pm and will be opening new clinics in the Studio City and Van Nuys areas during Q4 2015/Q1 2016.
